Hand Carved Boxwood Twin Rabbits Sculpture - Large Animal Figurine, Chinese Wood Carving, Collectible

Two rabbits carved from a single vision — a substantial hand-carved sculpture from the 650-year-old boxwood carving tradition of Yueqing, China.

This is a large piece. At 25 cm long and nearly a kilogram of solid wood, it reads as a real sculpture rather than a small ornament: two rabbits pressed together, ears alert, bodies leaning into each other. The boxwood has the fine, dense grain that has made it the preferred wood of Chinese carvers for centuries — it holds crisp detail and warms to a honey tone as it ages.

The rabbit in Chinese culture
The rabbit is one of the twelve zodiac animals and is associated with gentleness, vigilance, and long life. In folklore the jade rabbit lives on the moon, pounding the elixir of immortality — so carved rabbits carry wishes for health and longevity. They're also given to celebrate new beginnings, since rabbits symbolize fertility and growth.

Where it lives
At this size it works as a centerpiece: on a console table, a bookshelf with open space, or a mantel. It's a piece people notice and ask about.

Care
Keep dry and out of prolonged direct sunlight. Boxwood naturally deepens in color with age — this is a sign of a living material, not a flaw. Dust with a soft, dry cloth.

Please note
Hand-carved from natural wood — grain, color, and tone vary from piece to piece. These variations are the signature of genuine handmade work, not defects. Each sculpture is one of a kind.
